1) Is it ok to steal ideas and sentences from your e-book and other books?
Yes, you should steal as many ideas as you can from other teachers, books, websites, newspapers etc. In my experience, the best way to learn a language is by copying the phrases that native speakers use.
2) Can I write answers in capital letters?
Yes. In all parts of the test, answers written in capital letters are accepted.
3) Can we write about the opposite view in an "agree or disagree" essay?
Be careful with this! If you give the views of other people, you are in danger of writing a "discuss both views" essay.
4) Some teachers say that we should avoid using "I" or "my". Is this correct?
No, this advice is not correct. Read and remember that you can't answer the question "Do you agree?" by writing "It is agreed" (because this means "people agree").
5) Should i worry about the examiner?
Many students are overly worried about the examiner. They worry about body language, eye contact, how friendly the examiner is, whether the examiner smiles, whether he/she is making notes, what his/her opinion might be etc.
This kind of worrying is a waste of time and energy.
My advice is that you should only worry about 2 things in the speaking test:
1) listening carefully to the questions.
2) trying your best to give good answers. It's a language exam, so let's worry about language.
